Chapter 18: Chapter 16
Living with a cub and a dog. Was I always like this? A guy into bestiality.
No!!! I am not. But situation has forced my hands. Besides, Hazel has her uses. A bear cub or two won't hurt.
Still, I am kinda uneasy. Because the bear cub has been too clingy.
I am currently in the bath with the cub and Hazel.
The bath is small. Two was already pushing it. Now another one. This is cramped.
And here I am. Waking up and finding Hazel beside me and the bear cub above.
When the hell did I eat dinner and fall asleep?
I remember taking a bath and then I don't remember. Did I black out? But I clearly see the dishes washed and I am in my sleepwear.
What happened? I try to remember. But nothing came up. I am drawing a blank.
It's morning. But where did my memories of those few hours go?
I don't remember. But I am feeling weird. I am getting sleepy again.
Well, I don't have work anyway. So I lay down and fall asleep again.
For the past few days, I have been losing my consciousness. I don't remember how or why but I would always find myself asleep on the bed with Hazel beside me and the cub over me.
Am I stuck in a dream? But then, how long is this dream? I clearly feel time passing.
So, I am investigating today. I have to maximize my willpower.
And here I am. Waking up and getting the urge to sleep as soon as I can.
But I don't. If I lay back then I am going to fall asleep again.
And I resist the urge. It is really difficult but I certainly resisted.
I get down from bed. Hazel is still asleep and the cub is sleeping with her.
I get ready and leave. I have been trapped here for who knows how long. I need to check things out.
I leave my room only to find another bizarre scene.
The town is fully restored. I am seeing humans. The humans should be dead but they are walking.
Not like zombies or something but real humans.
Why is this happening? Is it a nightmare? I have to check more.
I go to the garage to get my bike. But it isn't there. Did I go back in time?
No. Hazel and the cub is with me. I didn't go back in time. But then, why isn't the bike here?
I ponder about that while walking to my parents' place.
It took 20 minutes to arrive. I hurried there. And I see them. I have already checked things on my way.
All the dead humans are alive. They are moving and walking.
I really am in a dream. But it'll be good not to appear in front of them.
Now that I mention it, no one has been giving me weird looks.
I was infamous so almost everyone knew of me. But they didn't notice me. Like I am not there.
But I can touch things like normal. So let test out this theory.
I go inside. I see dad reading a newspaper on his chair.
I try calling him.
"Dad."
But he didn't notice. I try to touch him. But my hand passed through him. Like a projection, I phased through him.
So either I don't exist or they don't exist. It's a simple conclusion.
It doesn't take a genius to understand this. Why do people make such a mess of these things is completely unknown to me?
So I know that all of this is fake. But I could touch Hazel and the cub. So I am not the projection.
Then why am I seeing this? Then I look at the date.
It's that day. The day when everything was over and the beginning of my new story.
It's still morning. So the attack should start in a few hours. I should wait or witness the attack for myself.
I still have to see it for myself. So let's pass the time.
I spend the next few hours roaming around. Everything is recreated with creepy accuracy.
Even I am thinking that how am I dreaming something so accurately?
And the attack began. And it ended. Nothing too elaborate.
A beam of light piercing through every human. Avoiding objects and clearly aiming for human, it finished its attack.
I tried to stand between a beam but it phased through me.
Then Hazel and the cub are okay as well.
And now I am standing at the same place as before. Where I discovered the scene of destruction.
I guess this is a recap. Of the previous events and my memories of them.
Funnily enough, I don't feel anything. Nor grief nor fear nor anger or hatred or vengeance. I feel nothing.
I should go back. It's already afternoon.
So I hurry back to my home and I arrived. Then I noticed that my bike is back.
What?!! I finished my journey to the capital and came back already.
I enter the door and find something even more weird than before.
I find a woman. Nice face and a busty body. But there was a tail sticking out of her butt and two ears that looked like dog ears.
"Welcome home, master." She said and bowed.
"I'm home!!!!" I tilt my head and answer.
Then a little girl came.
"Papa, you are home." She said and buried her face in my stomach.
She is a little girl. Maybe five or six at best. She has round ears on her head and I see a ball of wool sticking to her butt.
Is that bear ears and tail? I am confused.
"Hazel, is that you?"
"Yes, master. This is Hazel. Your partner and maid."
Wait wait. I knew I was dreaming but this is too much.
I am not the kind of guy who would lust after a dog and a little bear, right?
Or did my fantasies affect my dreams?
Anyway, I straight go to sleep. I have already lost sight of reality. So it's gonna be hard to separate dream from reality.
And I wake up again. This time, Hazel is beside me and the cub is over me.
I get off and look outside the window. Everything is the same as before.
Destroyed and no living creatures.
Am I really back? When I was thinking that, I saw something strange.
The gun and the staff that I stole are shining.
Does that have something to do with my dream? I should try this out.
